Setting The Standard

We set the standard by which other replacement windows are measured. Over fifty years of innovation has resulted in a collection of windows that are designed and engineered to provide beauty, performance, ease of operation, virtually no maintenance, and increased energy-efficiency.

All CBC replacement windows are made with fully extruded virgin vinyl frames and sashes for durability and beauty with no chipping, peeling, cracking or warping. All colors are formulated right into the vinyl, so the color never fades and your windows will never need painting or staining. Airtight insulating chambers and insulated glass units provide energy-efficient performance throughout every season. And all Alside windows will operate easily, even after decades of regular use, thanks to the stainless steel, high performance Constant Force Balance system.

Best of all, CBC replacement windows gracefully enhance the architectural style of your home, whether it’s traditional or contemporary. Ranging from feature-packed models to high-quality value-driven models, we know there’s a model to fit your specific style, performance and budget needs.

    • Proven Quality That You Can Count On

    Our vinyl windows are made to be long-lasting, high-performance and technically superior. To prove that each window achieves all of these goals, Alside seeks verification from independent testing and certification agencies.

    ASTM

    The American Society for Testing and Materials is an agency that develops rigorous testing standards for products that you use in your home every day. ASTM designs tests that challenge specific products in very specific ways such as extreme weather and impact resistance. These tests are witnessed by independent laboratories using the nationally recognized American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) test standards and criteria.

    ASTM E 283: air infiltration resistance

    Our windows easily pass the rigorous air infiltration resistance testing procedure. This means our windows minimize the infiltration of outside air, even at extreme wind speeds.

    ASTM E 547: water infiltration resistance

    Our select window brands have resisted water infiltration in this test approximating rainfall at the rate of eight inches per hour under simulated wind speeds of up to 50 miles per hour.

    ASTM E 330: extreme wind speeds

    Our select window brands maintain their strength and integrity in simulated wind speeds up to 155 mph — the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane.

    Underwriters Laboratories

    The lineals used to manufacture Alside window products are voluntarily submitted to annual UL testing and quarterly inspections to assure you that they are UL Classified to ASTM E 84.
